New to BMW, here's my AW 535i modded
Hello all,
New here, but not new to modding. Purchased this CPO '13 AW 535i from Sterling BMW in Newport beach. Previously owned several Lexus' and had always eye'd the F10 535i. Test drove one on a Saturday and found the perfect one the following Monday. Car has M sport package, Premium, Technology, Comfort Access, Rear view camera, and probably others... With a short 3 months of ownership, here she is BMW Genuine M5 Style 343 Wheels Michelin Pilot Super Sports 265/295 BMW M5/650i Sway bars Bavsound Speaker upgrade Hamann style lip Weathertech trunk mat Solargard 30% window tint IND Painted front reflectors BMS Intake Painted ebay spoiler Expel Ultimate paint protection All pics taken with an iPhone 5 (lol) Some random shots during the build: Slight poke with 295's in the rear Lip installed, good rep fit Bavsound speaker comparison Guts, easy install, highly recommended. That's all for now! I am more into subtle/OEM mods as you can see. Comments welcome.

Very nice, have you ever rubbed with the OEM wheels/tires?

Slight rub in the rears during 50mph+ dips. Haven't tested full load, but I'm sure it'll rub much more. Setting sport mode somewhat helps, but I'd put on 285/275 after these are worn.
Bavsound is great, took a week for the speakers to break-in, had to play with the equalizer a bit for spotify, but when you set spotify to extreme quality, it's great! Radio sounds the same so it really depends on the sources you use.

Thanks. Ride quality is about the same. Steering feels a little lighter. Can't really notice any difference due to the meaty tires. No drop, just thick 265 front and 295 rears. Front and rear gap is about 1 3/4 fingers all around. May drop it once the 295's are worn. But I'm happy with the ride at the moment.

The ebay seller is "supernation", but i don't think they're a registered user any more. I just chose them because they were in california, wasn't the cheapest and also wasn't the most expensive either.
